Hi JW,
read this on the run and could not help myself had to sneak in to leave my comment...
reason
After reading this just in passing...asked hubby what do you think of the Devadas Majnu type...do you think they are great lover, what they had was a once in alife time love...
He gave me this incredulous look first (a here we go again talking shit look)...and whe I insisted...he said...Devadas was a bloody loser...I'm not sure what love is but am sure as hell that that is not love...
Sigh of relief for me...we agree...I've always disliked Operas and not cos of the shrill voices or the overdramatic expression and loud dressing...but it was the tragic stories...however passionate the lyrics or the singing...they put me off by the nature of the story...
I too am yet to give love a defintion (might never get there)...but for me love is the passion and zest with which one lives life with armed with the strength of knowing one is loved or loving someone.
I see love in the cards my father wrote my mother two lines of poetry written in the language he was most at home with (my dad was mixed so native tongues were multiple) and written by a very pragmatic man who did not usually give into the liberties of frivelity...
Love was my mother who learnt the language (spent years in its literary nuances) to understand those words not satisfied with the mere traslation by another...
Love is seeing that same woman (my mom) live out the passing of my dad without morning his leaving but living life witht the same zest he had and tryingto fullfill dreams that he set out to accomplish cut short by his sudden demise...
So saying I dont expect all that from fiction...but the dynamics of the couple they have point out to a very passionate love it would be sad if they belittle it by a soppy tragic twist...
Ok love got to go...its rare the hubby and me can agree on abstracts ...so I had to share my high and now gotto go before that all to charming man turns grizzly...(remind you of someone)
